Lion Signs MOU with University Hospital Zurich to Develop Diamond-Hardness Nano-Carbon Coatings for Heart Valves

Lion and the Department of Cardiac Surgery at University Hospital Zurich are collaborating to develop Diamond-Hardness Nano-Carbon technology for heart valves

LONDON, UK, July 17, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Lion Alternative Energy and The Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to explore opportunities for collaboration in developing and commercializing Diamond-Hardness Nano Carbon technology for heart valves for commercially viable markets.

Lion's experimental data suggests that their nano-sized diamond-hard carbon coatings have higher biocompatibility and better bio-integration with the surrounding connective tissue during long-term encapsulation, reducing a leading cause of implant failure.

The University Hospital Zurich's Director of Cardiac Surgery, Professor Omer Dzemali, stated that a diamond-hard nano-carbon coating could extend the prosthesis's durability and reduce or even remove the need for anticoagulant therapy.

Lion's strategic goal is to position itself as a leader in the nano-carbon coating marketplace by developing a range of coating applications for the industry. Heart valves are, however, the first step of the journey.
